Are you still at AppDynamics? Because my application to your company back in January is still listed in Jobvite as “New.” I applied for several positions, and the distribution is pretty even between “New,” “Closed,” or “Not Selected,” and I

This is not equitable. A company generally has cash. You (jghn) spend so much time on the reviews, but at the end of the day, you collect your paycheck and go home. Sucks for the company’s investors, but you’ll be fine. A job candidate lose

I have a limited number of hours and a lot of need for money. I would be a lot happier with these multi-hour code challenges if successful completion led to guaranteed job offer. As it is, they disproportionately waste my time, for the am

I think this also applies to someone who is unemployed. All I want is to do meaningful work and get paid. I'm tired of the hamster wheel of job applications. For coders, a major offender is the variety of TrueAbility/Codility&#x2F

That is bad advice. Hiding or destroying the oil would be prosecuted as obstruction of justice, regardless of the legality of the cannabis, and it would be futile because of evidence from receipts or discarded packaging.

I’m curious exactly how many times a candidate gets to apply to Matasano. Thomas describes the Matasano process as costing “almost nothing,” but that includes running a couple exploit training websites and sending an 852-page book to applic

Don’t hate yourself. I refuse to hate myself. I know my many skills and powerful talents. Hate the system.

The problem with that comparison is that responding to job postings at Google is really fast. Once you enter your data in their system, it’s just click, tab-tab-tab, enter. It’s not like I’m spending hours every day begging for Google to gi

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I’m not just blindly spamming Google. For every one of those 150 applications, I looked at the job description and thought to myself, “Yeah, I can do that,” before hitting the Submit button. I have a lot of ski

Secret not mentioned: Aggressively filter applicants, so only the “best matches” even get an interview. I’ve sent 150 applications to Google in the last 4 months, and not a single response.

I watched a very smart 5-year-old turn into a listless and bored 6-year-old. The school system's practice of beating down initiative can take effect shockingly quickly.

GapJumpers sucks. It won’t let me take the audition without getting a LinkedIn account and connecting it to GapJumpers. Maybe you should try switching to TrueAbility.

I also solved it and didn't get a response. I don't have anywhere close to a living income right now, so I'm sick and tired of cultural fit. I didn't get into programming because I liked to spend my time filling out jo

Eh, second page now, being pedantic is fine. I didn't say it was uncommon. I said that I didn't see it before. Especially not in connection with the other clauses. I canceled my order before I even reached Section XIV. I do have a

The other companies don't claim to be hacker-friendly, except for MIT, nor do they try to forbid you from making your own thing or practicing free speech. Pearson sucks. Why would anybody want to be compared to Pearson?

It's very common to include the "other provisions hereof shall remain in full force" clause. I'm fine with that. But this is the first time I've seen "the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties&#x2

For me, it was because Pebble created a reputation as a hacker-friendly watch, as opposed to Apple and Google's closed gardens. Then I looked more into the Pebble, and discovered that it's a closed garden every bit as restrictive

Not an open-source project, and not a big user-base, but Apple bought P.A. Semi and canceled the PWRficient line of POWER-architecture chips.[1] Presumably, that was inconvenient for P.A. Semi's customers. [1] http://www.eet

Established companies are no guarantee. If you rely on Visual Basic or FoxPro, then good luck to you. Oregon hardly had a good experience with Oracle. Much of IBM is doomed. FOSS or proprietary to yourself are the only valid options.

SFMTA routes end at the borders of the city. They are not direct competitors to buses going down the peninsula. If anything, SFMTA lines are feeders, because the corporate buses don't wander all over the city.
